In mythtv-setup under ‘Input connections’ (or something) type /home/mythtv/.mythtv/sendkeys.sh

Then create this sendkeys.sh script in the directory mentioned above. #!/bin/sh for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do red_eye /dev/ttyS0 $digit 2 sleep 0.4 done Decided this works better… #!/bin/csh echo "changing to $1" /usr/local/bin/red_eye /dev/ttyS0 $1 2 & Place the red_eye c program from http://redremote.co.uk/serial/resdown.html in /usr/bin or similar and you’re done.
